  • "Making time for himself during the day. Ryan needs a healthy work life balance as well."

Do you have any concerns about Ryan?

  • "None!"
  • "No"
  • "Only personal ones. I want Ryan to make sure he is always making time for himself, his family and his health outside of work. I would encourage Ryan to continue to challenge himself from a tech standpoint (when he has the time to do so) in order to stay up to date on things."
